AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Lexus has 21 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 39,116 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and past advisories warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,250 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years from 3,000 to 1,000 miles annually.

Things to check

  • Major structural corrosion on both rear subframes (Jan 2022 advisory) — a serious long-term safety concern.
  • Major structural corrosion on both rear suspension arms (Jan 2022 advisory) — further structural integrity compromise.
  • Major structural corrosion on both rear anti-roll bars (Jan 2022 advisory) — indicates widespread corrosion.
  • Offside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (Mar 2026 advisory) — indicates a worn critical component.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2018): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent MOT failures, indicating the current issues are being monitored.
  • Low mileage for its age (39,116 miles over 23 years) suggests less wear and tear.
